THE POWER OF VULNERABILITY
Yes...
As a believer, At times, my life is so shallow that his words.
It does not take roots.
At other times, problems in my life or opposition (‘trouble or persecution’) take me away from a close relationship with Jesus.
At other times still, ‘the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful
But here is the thing, I don't have to conceal all that up...
This is where the power of vulnerability comes in...
We are not meant to keep things concealed in our lives. It is healthier to TALK ABOUT IT...
Will you judge me? Oh yes
Will you misunderstand me? Most definitely, but come on, the moment it leaves my mind, i can't take it back, not even how you treat me will put those things back in me...
I'm not saying be careless about how you say it, or who you say it to, but get a seemingly safe space and talk about it...
I don't have anyone to talk to, start with God.
This is your best bet...
He said come boldly to the throne of grace, just as you are, because like it or not, they'll still come to light..
And then make friends..
Making friends is a skill set, acquire it..
This is the power of vulnerability..
